Chapter 752. The day of the official departure

Austinger crouched down beside Gilbert's sleeping bed, looking at his sleeping face carefully.

It wasn't until there was a glimmer of light in the sky outside that he walked out with his squatting legs. Go back to your tent.

The soldiers in the tent were still lying on their beds, snoring.

Austinger walked softly back to his place and found Levin covered and asleep in his bed.

"Hey." Austinger shook his head, and once again complained in his heart about Levin's unreliability.

But seeing that Gilbert didn't leave, he was in a really good mood.

Smiling and lying down beside Levin, the tension before going into battle was much calmer.

It was still an hour before dawn, and he could still take a nap.

"Austinger, wake up." At seven o'clock in the morning, when Levine returned to the camp to pack his bedding after washing, he found Austinger still lying on the bed, and hurried over to shake him awake.

"Huh?" Austinger wrapped the quilt around him, reluctantly opened his eyes, and asked.

"We're leaving, you get up and pack up." Levine said.

"Hmm." Austinger slowly propped up his upper body, put the padded jacket hanging on his side, and replied.

Levine looked at his sleepy-eyed look and remembered when he woke up this morning. The boy's face was right in front of him, and he had a smile of fascination. Levin couldn't help but shudder.

"Anyway, you move quickly, don't let everyone wait for you." After leaving a word of advice, Levine picked up his luggage and left.

"Got it." Austinger shouted at Levin's back.

When he was alone in the room, Austinger pulled himself together and got dressed. Grab your towel and toothbrush and rush out. rushed all the way to the sink in the back kitchen.

But when brushing his teeth, Austinger always felt like he had forgotten something. While frowning, he pondered: What is missing?

"Ahh Austin choked on a mouthwash: "Gilbert! ”

Why didn't he wait for him outside the tent today?

Austinger hurriedly held the water in his hand and finished washing his face. I hurriedly picked up my things and ran back.

When they reached the camp gate, Gilbert was still nowhere to be found.

The surrounding soldiers had already begun to disassemble the tent's stands, and Austinger quickly stopped: "Wait a minute, my things are still inside!" Please wait! ”

"Why are you so slow!" Levine walked over and kicked Austinger and said, "Hurry up, go get your stuff out." ”

Austinger saw that the soldiers had stopped waiting for him, and immediately put his towel and mouthwash cup in Levin's arms and ran into the tent.

In less than five minutes, Austinger rushed out of the tent door with his luggage on his back and thanked several soldiers: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Then panting and walked over to Levin's side.

"Gilbert is gone, I have to find him." Austinger said.

"I don't see your size, your 'son' is staying with the captains of DeWitt to discuss tactics. I need you to worry about it. Levine handed the towel and mouthwash cup back into Austinger's arms and explained.

"Really?" Austinger was pleasantly surprised.

"It's been half an hour since they've been out of the camp and they haven't come back yet." Levin glanced at the mountains in the distance and said, "It seems that this problem is really tricky." ”

"How could Gilbert get up so early on his own?" Austinger went to the back kitchen with his luggage on his back to get breakfast, and when he returned, he asked Levine.

"I don't know, I heard that he himself found Captain DeWitt in front of Captain DeWitt's tent at dawn." Levin took a slice of bacon and chewed it in his mouth.

"Oh." Austin was stunned for a moment, then responded.

"Everyone! Gather! ”

I don't know when, Abel has already returned to the barracks.

The camp quickly fell silent, and the soldiers lined up neatly.

"I hope that each of us can walk this road safely today." Abel gave a few brief explanations, as usual, before finally speaking to the crowd.

The soldiers were not deterred by the difficulties ahead. Neatly responded, "Yes!" ”

"Good! Let's go! Abel stood at the head of the line and commanded.

The soldiers of the elven clan are also in good spirits today. Lined up and neatly followed behind Abel.

The moment he stepped into the dragon's territory, Able stopped all the elven soldiers from flying and joined Calradia in putting on water-filled sponge insles.

According to Gilbert, such insoles, when rubbed against the ground, can mimic the crawling sounds of a certain creature in the territory.

After advancing two hundred meters, Able noticed that there were no strange creatures around him, so he believed the insole's effect and reported to DeWitt: "We are safe at the moment. ”

Devit glanced back at the soldiers who were trudging through the grass and said worriedly, "Just wearing this, the march is too slow." ”

"It's good to get used to it, there's only this way at the moment." Gilbert, who was standing on the sidelines, interjected, "Unless you have some more secure way." ”

Devit looked at the sky and thought for a while, then asked, "Why don't you let the elven soldiers fly forward with the Calradian soldiers?" I mean, at a distance of flying at high altitudes. ”

When Able heard this suggestion, he frowned and replied, "The weight of each Calradian soldier plus the luggage on their bodies is close to three hundred catties. It may be a little difficult for the elven soldiers under his command to carry this weight and advance at a high altitude. ”

"And," Gilbert added after Abel finished speaking, "The dragons' territory has a high-altitude barrier, and it is impossible for the elves to fly out of the range of the 'wurm'. ”

After hearing the words of the two men, Devitt fell into deep thought.

The soldiers could only carefully walk through the grass until the sun went down.

found a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and the group stayed.

Clemmont took the binoculars and looked at the way he came, shook his head, and said, "We've only covered less than a fifth of the way today. ”

"No way, it's safest to go Gilbert's way now. Today also proved that what he said was right. DeWitt replied.

"Is there really no way? If you go on like this, it will be similar to the schedule that you would have taken to choose a detour. Cremont said anxiously.

While the two were distraught, a soldier ran over with a beaming face and reported, "Captain DeWitt, Captain Cremont, we've found the hot springs!" ”
